Reset CSS

[Shicky]

I've seen this mentioned as good practice so was going to implement it myself and was directed to the link below:

My question, do you simple have this at the top of your main css file, then add to it? I thought it would look pretty poor if I was to have three seperate declarations for the body?

Or this if you're lazy

Keep it at the top, or as a separate file but linked before your own styles.

The idea is to give the elements those styles to move them (or look the same) into a unified position across browsers and then you move them again with your own styles.

Don't add to it, just leave it at the top.

I have it as a separate file, the first css file I call. I always use the same CSS reset so like to have it separate from my editable CSS.

Personally, I only link one css file (unless it's a very large site I'm doing), and then inside my style.css, I just import any others, such as my reset.

@import "reset.css";

Thanks very much for the input guys, its pretty much what I expected. When I said add to it, I essentially meant putting it at the top of my current css file then having my changes below it. I thought it may be considered poor to have it at the top referencing the body twice, then a third reference by myself.

Seems the best route is to import or link which I'll implement for my site, thanks all
